The truth is... this device is a crap!After opened, i was copying from one disk to another using usb 3.0 and it drops copy 7 times... Like it switch it off and on! i dont know why, but i do not recommend at all! Sorry! Try startec models they have more good reviews than this

Probably. I bought the BlacX Duet with USB 3.0 for a new, small Windows 8.1 laptop. Even though there was proprietary Samsung Recovery and Backup software, I purchased Paragon software for more flexibility. I suggest looking up "Paragon." There are probably simpler and more complete versions of this software.

Short answer... I don't know. But it should be. Download the drivers and it's plug and play. I really like it. . It does everything I needed it to do without any issues. My only recommendation if you decide to get it, is to but strong velcro, and the provided pad doesn't hold the weight of the dock.

Yes but the dock is near impossible to find, and from what I've seen, possibly discontinued

Dell has a port replicator for this laptop. Additionally, you can use other generic docks/replicators from third party vendors.

Probably not, if your enclosure has a USB 3.0 cable. If so, you should be able to download the cloning software from Samsung & let 'er rip

Actually . You can clone your system with acronis which is provided with this device. I did this. there was no problem. Everything was same. But I recommend that you had better to install new and clean windows. It makes this device more efficent. In fact after I cloned my system, I decided to install totally new windows. if you dont want to new windows go for it.

This unit can either stand alone clone or use software of your choice. There is a switch located on the back for unattended disk to disk clone. Yes this acts like a typical dual docking station, able to view both drives when switched from stand alone clone. I am a computer repair shop and the Orinco has outlasted other brands. A great bargain for the $$$! I also use AOMEI FREE cloning software for shrinking partitions down for migration to smaller drives. I purchased 2 of these and they both have outlasted the Calvary brand. Seems easier to use than Dyconns dubbler docks too. The only upgrade they could have done is move the rear switches to the front.

Theoretically, you can since the dock mode presents the two HDDs in JBOD layout from my understanding but I've only used it to clone HDDs. Please confirm with StarTech instead, I'm just one of the many customers.

I wouldn't do that. I'd use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your drive first. If you can.

Yes it is, Kemal. Often the seller will ask you what computer you have before sending you the mini dock.

Yes, so long as the cloning software you are using supports USB 2.0/3.0 or eSata attached drives.

I don't know if that will fit in the dock but you will be able to connect it via the usb connection if not on the dock

I don't think so, it's not in the compatible list for this dock on any of the websites I checked.

Yes you can. You can treat the docking station like removable media or it will function as a stand alone clone.

You can get a cloning kit from Crucial for $20 but you need to call them and ask for W8 compatible kit. Worked great for me.
